After losing to Real Madrid in the most recent El Clasico, Barcelona was understandably upset. The Catalan giants were confused and insulted by the final score of 2-1, which did not accurately reflect the nature of the game.

However, the team’s injury woes likely played a significant role in their loss to Real Madrid. The Madrid defense was able to block the majority of Barça’s attacks since the Catalans’ midfield was overmatched.

Two of Barcelona’s most skilled and crucial midfielders were sitting on the bench, and their absence was keenly felt.

Missing midfielders

Without a doubt, Pedri and Frenkie De Jong would have been huge assets for Barcelona in that game. There were slim possibilities of them playing versus Los Blancos, but they were ultimately unsuccessful. However, Barcelona fans may just have a reason to smile again after the current news.

Soon, Pedri will be back.

Adria Albets, a journalist from Spain, claims that Pedri, who is only 20 years old, will soon be given the go-ahead. Being awarded the medical green light signifies that a footballer is ready for selection again. Moreover, Pedri’s green light is anticipated to come before Barça’s forthcoming encounter against Real Sociedad.

The Catalan giants are ready to travel to San Sebastián in order to take on La Real for their upcoming match. The Anoeta will host the game, and Pedri may be a key player.

Having been previously unavailable since August, the former Golden Boy winner might finally return for the Catalan giants as they draw down on the midway mark of the season.

De Jong’s future is still unclear.

The journalist does note, however, that the case of the Dutch singer is rather more delicate. Even though Barcelona will likely be more cautious, Frenkie De Jong could see action against Real Sociedad. By the time Barcelona make their trip, his emotional state will have determined whether or not he will be able to play for the Catalan giants.
